BRC-H800

Full HD Pan Tilt Zoom camera with 1.0-type

Exmor R CMOS sensor (color availability
may vary by country)

Overview Remotely capture broadcast quality Full HD images with smooth, silent
PTZ and excellent low-light sensitivity.
The BRC-H800 remote camera combines uncompromising broadcast picture quality
and smooth, silent PTZ operation with the flexibility of 3G-SDI and HDMI connections.

Designed for unattended operation, this compact but powerful robotic camera is an
ideal complement to other broadcast cameras for capturing images in hard-to-reach or
unobtrusive positions. It's equally at home in TV newsrooms, remote studios and on-air
suites, auditoriums, houses of faith, courtrooms, classrooms, or sports stadiums. It's
also particularly suited to efficient multi-camera set-ups, under the control of a single
operator.

The 1.0-type Exmor R CMOS image sensor captures crisp, low-noise Full HD images at
60p, with excellent low-light sensitivity. The large image sensor also allows the creation
of beautiful 'bokeh' effects with a shallow depth of field to suit any artistic intention.

Speedy, near-silent PTZ operation with 12x optical zoom accommodates wide-angle
scenes and tightly framed close-ups, with Clear Image Zoom 24x (HD) extending this
range even further without visible loss of resolution. In Tele Convert Mode, 24x zoom
can be further doubled to 48x without losing HD resolution.

Broadcast-friendly features include dual tally lamps for on-air operation, while
operational flexibility is enhanced with options for ceiling, table-top, or tripod mounting.
There's also a broad range of video interfacing and remote control possibilities—plus
support for PoE+ and genlock—for smooth integration into any broadcast,
professional, or corporate AV environment.

The BRC-H800/1 is a US/Canada model which is bundled with the AC-UES1230MT AC

power supply and cord. In all other regions the AC power supply and cord are sold
separately.

Available in black as BRC-H800 and in white as BRC-H800/W (color availability may vary
by country).

Features Enhanced Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) operation

Accurately re-frame shots or track moving subjects with smooth, speedy, near-silent
remote control of pan, tilt and zoom functions. There's also low-speed zoom and a
slow pan/tilt mode for precise, judder-free camera movements. PTZ Trace Memory
allows a sequence of camera movements to be memorized and followed whenever

 required. PTZ Motion Sync smoothly blends separate pan, tilt and zoom movements
for seamless, professional-looking transitions. Upto 100 preset positions for
pan/tilt/zoom operations.

Broadcast quality Full HD 60p images

The camera's large, back-illuminated 1.0-type Exmor R CMOS sensor delivers
uncompromised broadcast quality color pictures in detail-packed Full HD 60p, capable
of capturing sports and other fast-moving action.

Cinematic 24p pictures

The camera can also operate in 24p mode, for video footage with a rich, filmic look.

High quality 12x optical zoom and 24x(HD) with Clear Image Zoom
The high quality Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens with 12x optical zoom range covers wide
angle shots as well as tight close-ups. Clear Image Zoom* expands this range to 24x
(HD) without sacrificing detail. In addition, the Tele Convert Mode can double this range
again, up to 48x zoom while maintaining a 1920x1080 resolution.

*Clear Image Zoom is a Sony original intelligent interpolation, which analyzes the input
image and increases the resolution of the image.

Excellent low light sensitivity

The BRC-H800 can capture crisp, low noise color video images in light levels as low as
1.7lx, making it an ideal choice for dimly lit live hall and theater

Flexible installation
Integration is simplified in a wide range of environments, with PoE+ (Power over
Ethernet) to reduce cabling requirements and VISCA control over IP.

Remote operation
Pan/tilt/zoom and other camera settings can be controlled using the supplied IR remote
commander, or with the optional RM-IP500 Remote Control Unit that can control
multiple cameras.

RCP/MSU Connectivity
In a studio environment, BRC-H800 can be controlled via Sony's Remote Control Panel
RCP-1500/1501/1530 and MSU-1000/1500. Connection can be made over IP networks.

*The compatibility is described in the Remote Camera System Guide.

Genlock
Genlock simplifies integration with other systems in multi-camera broadcast
environments.

Versatile video outputs

Enjoy greater installation flexibility in professional broadcast and AV environments with
3G-SDI (x2) and HDMI video outputs.

Front and rear tally lamps

Ideal for on-air broadcast use, the BRC-H800 features dual tally lamps on the front and
rear of the camera body. Brightness of the front tally lamp can be adjusted in two
steps.

Always up to date
New camera functionality and performance improvements can be added via firmware
